At least in chronological dating.
I debated posting this today or Monday, given that this weekend is a three-day holiday in the States, and that the selected graphic—in this case an illustration—explains the alignment of Stonehenge and—the focus of the BBC article wherein this graphic appears—a prehistoric, pre-Stonehenge, well, henge of wood posts only a few miles from the famous site in the Salisbury Plain in Bulford.
Obviously, I decided that the Thursday before the summer solstice is better than the Monday after. To the graphic.
I really like how this piece uses simple illustrations of the stones and wooden posts of each site with colour highlighting the sunrise/sunset during the solstices. I wish the distances were more visually comparable as the distance between the wooden posts of Bulford is three times as great as the stones of Stonehenge. I do not think the arrows outside the post need to be nearly as long as they are, which would help increase the distance between the posts and thus the scale of the two prehistoric sites.
I also really liked how the archaeologist leading the work is Phil Harding. During the pandemic I discovered an older British television show called Time Team, which over the course of a three-day weekend would excavate sites across the UK. He was one of the leading experts on the show and I enjoy how all these years later he is still actively contributing to our understanding of British and human (pre)history.
Credit for the piece goes to the BBC graphics department.
